Marcum placed on DL with elbow inflammation Shaun Marcum - S - TOR - Jul. 2Blue Jays placed RHP Shaun Marcum on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.
Marcum underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2008, so there's obviously reason to be concerned here. It's too bad, as the 28-year-old right-hander has been excellent this season, posting a 3.44 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over his first 17 starts. His control hasn't been quite as sharp lately, so perhaps he has been dealing with some discomfort over his last few starts. Hopefully the rest will do him well.
